First trailer for David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook

David O. Russell’s last film swept the 2010 supporting acting Oscars and was nominated in several other major categories; it was the gritty, based on a true story

boxing film The Fighter.  This year, though, he returns with a more lighthearted effort (perhaps more in line with his I Heart Huckabees) in the form of the dramedy Silver Linings Playbook.  With yet another fine cast (including a return to the big screen for Chris Tucker and everyone’s favorite live-action archer Jennifer Lawrence), Russell’s film looks to be a crowd-pleaser with a chance for awards attention (especially given its prime release date).  Check out the trailer below!
